The big argument I always found less and greater signs to be not visually distinctive enough, at least with fonts I am using. [ and ] are larger and I was really happy with them in Scala although I dislike the language in general. Seriously though, the real big argument is [] are already used with in two of three generic types ([]T, map[K]V, only is chan T is different). And there's a huge argument, with the performance of simple tools like gofmt, etc.
